Its so so peaceful! There is an abundance of birds and wildlife to watch, red squirrels and woodpeckers are regular visitors to the garden along with the pheasants and numerous woodland birds.
From the cottage there is direct access onto Catbells. A beautiful stroll down through Manesty Woods to Brandelhow brings you down to the lake, from here you can take the ferry around the lake to Lodore or Keswick.
The Allerdale Ramble runs across the fell behind the cottage and takes you either to Grange or Portinscale. the situation is perfect for magnificent walks either around the lake, over Catbells to Newlands or down the Borrowdale Valley towards Honister Pass.
